This is the place they hoped before,

By Emily DickinsonSource: Emily Dickinson - PoetryDB (Public Domain)39 words

This is the place they hoped before,

Where I am hoping now.

The seed of disappointment grew

Within a capsule gay,

Too distant to arrest the feet

That walk this plank of balm --

Before them lies escapeless sea --

The way is closed they came.
